This rural landscape of approximately 132 acres on two titles has been meticulously transformed over the years of the vendors stewardship. With dramatic improvements to fencing, vermin proofing, pasture renovation management, conservation areas, landscaping, water reticulation systems, to the construction of a modern architectural residence, new farm outbuildings and stock handling infrastructure this is a project combining passion, planning, sound advice and attention to detail, in essence all the hard work has been done and provides a unique opportunity for Lifestyle and Income.

With incomparable, majestic mountain views set in Tasmanias picturesque North West Coast providing a vista that encompasses Mount Roland, Van Dyke and Mount Claude past the Western Tiers to Mount Barrow and Ben Lomond. On a clear day with the mountain landscape as a boundary to the rural land at the foothills and valley below, this private landscape is nothing short of spectacular.

The modern homestead of approximately 26 squares has been established on a plateau of level ground overlooking the productive renovated pastures to the north east and east of the farming land and toward the views along the rural and mountain ranges of northern Tasmania, and in the lee of natural bushlands and rain forest to the southwest. The positioning of the homestead was very carefully and thoughtfully selected to maximise views, aspect and sunshine hours, and shelter from the prevailing winter south-westerly winds. A number of other sites have also been identified as suitable for establishing cabins or self contained villas for tourism purposes should new owners wish to develop to this potential.

The homestead combines open plan living with central kitchen and dining area, flanked by two lounge or sitting areas, both of which open onto deck areas for outdoor pleasure or entertaining, which allows family or guests to utilise the individual areas, but never be isolated when entertaining. With a plentiful bounty of local gourmet foods and wines available, combined with the setting are sure to make this kitchen rule for any owner. Each area shares the views from the generous sized double glazed feature windows. Even the screens have been chosen to filter the light yet feature the views on the brightest and warmest sunlit days. The home is of modern colour-bond construction, with insulation to ceilings, walls and flooring.

Three bedrooms, (the master with a very well designed en-suite featuring his and her vanities, separate shower and toilet), and all with built in or walk in robes. The fourth room currently used as an office could also be utilised as an additional bedroom. The main bathroom features separate bath and shower. The laundry is also cleverly designed to be neat as part of the rear access to the house being concealed within cupboard enclosures.

The home has both wood heater and reverse cycle air conditioning, as well as panel heaters for temperature control, and both gas and electric cooking options. Water supply is sourced from the option of stored rainwater tanks collecting from home and outbuildings, with the alternative of pristine potable groundwater from a newly installed bore, which may also provide approximately eighteen stock water points throughout the property if required.

The landscaped gardens of the farm provide both colour through ornamentals and native flora, and produce with vegetable and fruit gardens and hot-house. The gardens and the main renovated pasture areas have both vermin proof and electric fencing, and while the main drive is a gravel entrance the access-ways and turning circle to the property have tarmac surfacing. Approximately 19 kilometres of new fencing have been erected to date.

The vendors have, as already stated, taken great care in establishing the property to the point it is now, with total farm plan and mapping, regular agronomy reports and subsequent fertiliser applications. They have also set aside and preserved natural habitat areas approximately 62 acres, which include marked private walking tracks in an endeavour to maximise the potential of the property yet keeping a balance with the natural environment and habitats offered by the location. Many plantings of rare Tasmanian trees have been established, including Myrtle, King Billy Pine, Huon Pine, Leatherwood, Sassafrass to name a few, with the added advantage that these all add to the complexity and texture of the honey now being produced off the property from its own Apiary operation. The offering also has within its boundaries, as well as nearby, trails for horse-riding, and is only minutes away from Lake Barrington boating, rowing and recreational facilities

Outbuildings include double carport, double garage-workshop including power and heating four car capacity, and four bay (one lock up) farm utility shed and barn. All outbuildings are new and of colour-bond construction. Also installed and included are new modular cattle handling facilities.

This prestige holding represents an outstanding proposition for purchasers requiring a truly unique and equally appealing position in which to enjoy the lifestyle and splendour of the outstanding views and sunsets, along with the many moods that its position, seasons and natural environment treat the owners to, including Wedge Tail Eagles, Echidnas, Platypus, Tasmanian Devils, and a myriad of other bird, wildlife and flora.
